SSD Frank Zummo Expansion Black Friday pricing is 50% off, which puts this Steven Slate Drums 5 add-on at $49 until Dec 31, 2026.
The Frank Zummo Signature Expansion is a drum sample library for Steven Slate Drums 5, built around the sound of drummer Frank Zummo. The maker describes it as a genre-bending library aimed at modern pop, pop punk, rock, indie and more.
It is an expansion, so Steven Slate Drums is required to use it.
The library ships with three sets of samples, and each one is aimed at a different way of working.
The maker says Curtis Douglas, a Billboard-proven engineer, handled the engineering.
The three sets break down like this:
The cymbals are shared across the kit: 2 hi-hats, 2 rides, 4 crashes and 3 stacks.
On top of that you get 12 kit presets, so you can load a full kit and start building a groove right away.
Since Raw, Mix Ready and Producer Ready all sit in one library, you can pick the version that matches how much of the mix you want to handle yourself.
The maker calls the sound a hybrid of acoustic and electronic drums, designed to fit into a mix without much fuss.
The articulations are described as hyper-realistic. That includes rare ones like the ride shank and stacked cymbals.
The maker pitches the pack at producers who want versatility and power. Zummo's signature punch is the thread running through all three sample sets.
If you already run Steven Slate Drums 5, this expansion loads into it alongside your existing kits.
